The 2012 edition of Information On Demand certainly left us all with a lot to think about, whether it was our Big Future, its Big Possibilities or simply the new mandate to Think Big.
No doubt you’re wondering how to share with your colleagues all the great things you saw and learned over the course of those three days. Naturally, the best way to determine your next steps would be to contact your IBM rep or Business Partner.
For my part, I’ve compiled a list of assets and sites related to the big themes of this year’s conference, namely: Big data, Smarter Analytics, IBM PureSystems and Watson.These are by no means exhaustive, but they should help you get started.
Also, I’ve recapped the news releases and included a list of suggested reading (both online and in book form) to help you orient yourselves toward this interconnected and intelligent future we’re all building together.
Finally, you can always review our rich store of event video content on our Livestream channel. Review and revisist the opening general sessions, track keynotes and a long list of Scott and Todd’s interviews with keynote speakers and IBM executives.
Remember, you can always do a deep dive into any IBM Software capability on IBM.com.
